At Long Last (book 3 Spandor collection)(BoyxBoy)

Chapter 34

Andor's Pov

I hold Jordan as he continues to sob into my chest. I want to say "I told you so" but I can't when he is breaking down in my arms. "You won't be a single parent. We are in this together." I say softly. Jordan sniffles. "I love you, Andor." I give a smile. "I love you too, Jordan."

Ianite's Pov

"All this fuss over a spell book?! I mean any of James friends could accomplish this. I don't get it." Spark says a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Me either Spark." My voice wavers suddenly and I feel like I could cry.

I can feel how unbalanced things are. Why does everything go wrong when Spark decides to return to me!

Perhaps, sister, the unbalance you feel is because someone is going to betray you

Mianite's voice is the last thing I want to hear right now. "How's Dianite? Haven't seen much of him lately." Spark asks.

"I think he's ok. He's got a girlfriend who's pregnant with his kids." I say as I wipe my tears.

"Perfect! I umm never mind." That was odd but I'm gonna ignore it.

I can hear Steve talking on the phone downstairs. "Tell him to calm down!"

Spark and I exchange glances. "Andor there's nothing I can do!"

"Mom you need to go see Jordan. Like now." Martha says. I sigh "What am I gonna do with this boy."

I teleport Spark and I over to the castle. Dianite is waiting.

"Speak of the devil." Spark says with a laugh. Dianite doesn't find it humorous. When Spark tries to walk into the castle, with me, Dianite grabs him by the back of his shirt.

"Go in there and Mot's gonna have your head." Dianite warns but Spark clearly isn't buying it.

"Mot couldn't hurt a fly. Much less hurt me."

"I warned you." Is all Dianite says before releasing him. We all walk in together.

Jordan's Pov

"YOU'D BE DEAD IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME!" Mot yells at me.

"WELL IF YOU NEVER WOULD'VE CAME BACK WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION!" I shout back just as Spark, Ianite, and Dianite walks in.

"FOR THE LAST TIME JORDAN I WAS ALONE!"

I open my mouth to shout back but Dianite jolts in first.

"You two stop. Mot I expected more fr-"

"You have no say in what I do or say anymore! You gave me up!" Mot snaps and Dianite shuts his mouth.

I can feel Spark's stare. "It's rude to stare you know." I turn. Spark continues staring. "Why are you watching and judging me like I am an experiment?!" I start walking towards Spark, forgetting about Mot. "Jordan-" Ianite begins but I stop her. "Don't. I don't want to hear anything from you." I say harshly. Spark instantly swings a punch at me, I dodge it. We then start throwing punches at each other. Ianite backs away from us, into Dianite's arms. "Jordan!" Andor tries to get me to stop but I won't.

A guard bursts through the doors. "A riot is starting, you're highness." Spark and I stop fighting. Andor turns his attention to the guard, his face pale. "A riot?" The guard nods. "Everyone is going crazy. They all want James' book." All eyes go to me, except Dianite's, who's is on Ianite.

"This isn't over other me." Spark growls. "It's only just begun. Where's Ianita?" I turn my attention to Ianite.

"She's with Martha and Steve safe!" She half yells at me.

"You all wanna give me my book now?" Tom asks and I hear Andor groan.

"Destroy it." Andor orders. The guard moves towards Ianite. Both Spark and I move between her and the guard.

"You won't touch that book." I say harshly. "Or her."

"Jor-"

"Its the last thing I have of him." I interrupt Andor. I can tell he's terrified.

"Have you sent out Jericho's team?" Andor asks, not taking his eyes off me.

"Yes nothing's working. We can't scare them out of this." The guard says.

"Wait it out. Keep Jericho and his men guarding around the castle area."

Maylee's Pov

I'm not sure where Dianite went but it worries me that he still isn't home. I hope he isn't trying to save the day in Dagrun. I don't want him hurt. I sigh and begin to start cleaning up the living room.

After a few minutes of cleaning I hear a rapid series of knocks on the door. I rush over and open the door. Anne is there, covered in blood. "Anne!" I help her inside, setting her on the couch. "Hold on. I will get some towels and stuff for you!" I say and go to grab some stuff to clean her up and a couple water bottles.

I come back and wipe blood off Anne's face and notice her hands covering her stomach. I slowly remove her hands to see a large wound, most likely caused by a sword. "What happened?!" I begin putting pressure on the wound with a towel covering my hands, hoping to stop the bleeding. Anne coughs, causing more blood to soak the bloody towel. "Riots...Everywhere...Tried to stop them...I was attacked..." I give Anne some water.

"This is going to sting a bit. Here," I put a towel in Anne's mouth, "bite down on this." I unscrew the cap for the alcohol, remove the bloody towel, and pour it on Anne's wound. She bites down on the towel, trying not to scream. "It's almost clean." I tell her. Thank goodness I was dead set on being nurse when I was younger and studied a lot in cleaning wounds.

I stop pouring alcohol and go back to putting pressure on the wound with a fresh towel. The bleeding seems to have subsided. Anne, on the other hand, seems to be getting worse. She coughs again and looks up at me. "T-Tell Jordan that h-h-he was like a b-brother to m-me. And th-that I will...always...love...him..." Anne's voice trails off, her eyes closing. "No! Anne don't leave!" I shout at her. Tears are streaking down my face.

"He's flat lining! Get the defibrillator! He can't die goddammit!" The doctor shouts at the nurses. I watch as they try to save Dad. The doctor finally notices me and has a nurse take me away. I fight him, wanting to stay with my dad until the very end. Everything was frantic, the nurses and doctor rushing around the room, me struggling to get away from the nurse. That's when I felt something hit my head and everything went dark.

I snap out of my flashback to see Anne, dead on the couch, blood still soaking the towel. Tears are coming like a waterfall down my face. I grab Anne's hand. "Goodbye, friend."
